I have the same idea each time I read something about backlights;

How easy would be to place a cheap LCD at the back of the main screen and mirror the same output (in horizontally inverted mode)?

Technically it might require synchronizing the frame latency differences between the two devices, but would such a hack improve the perceived quality?

Uber seems to have weaponized senior public officials and MPs in many European countries.

This a scandal of huge proportions.

> jQuery, Prototype, ExtJS/Sencha, Backbone.js and Angular all seemed promising, but none took enough of the pain away.

I feel the same. Coming from MooTools, Prototype, Dojo I have found that modern frameworks like Vue and Svelte make my life so much easier.

The whole JavaScript ecosystem with Node.js and npm has helped such ideas/implementations/frameworks bloom and I'm grateful for that.

DroidCam connected via USB on my Android smartphone makes a great 1080p webcam. The latency is minimal.

It has great linux support and works great with OBS (and its chroma key filter)

Has anybody ever received a reply from gmail's postmaster address?

I have good experience with them fixing issues related to their spam-related flagging for messages that are coming from our self-hosted email server, but never got any specific reply.
